C Augmented Arpeggio in Drop C# Tuning

C Augmented Arpeggio in Drop C# Tuning shows the same c augmented arpeggio chord tones across 6 strings tuned C# G# C# F# A# D#. The tuning changes where the same chord tones sit across the fretboard.

Chord tones: C, E, G#
Formula: 1 3 #5
Semitones: 0 4 8
Chord symbols: Caug, C+
Tuning: C# G# C# F# A# D#
Strings: 6
Open pitch range: C#2 to D#4
24-fret range: C#2 to D#6

Open strings and root positions

1 of the 6 open strings belong to C Augmented Arpeggio: string 5 G# (#5). None of those open-string tones is the C root, so the root must be fretted on every string.

Low-string pattern

On the lowest C# string, the first-octave arpeggio pattern falls at frets 3, 7, and 11, with the C root at fret 11. On the highest D# string, the first C is at fret 9.

Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play C Augmented Arpeggio on the low C# string at frets 3, 7, and 11, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets G# on open string 5 ring, then connect it to the nearest C root and two other arpeggio tones.
Connect the C root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 11, 4, 11, 6, 2, and 9, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
